"Macbeth" at 1YA on December 19

QGHAKESPHARH’S great tragedy, "Macbeth," contains many of the bard’s best-known lines. Here are a few of them, taken at random :- "Nothing in his life became him like ne leaving it." "After life’s fitful fever he sleeps well." "Sleep, that knits up the ravelled Sleeve of care... chief nourisher in life’s feast." . "Throw physic to the dogs; I’ll none of it." "Life’s ... but a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more." "Vaulting ambition that o’erleaps itself, and falls on the other." "All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand." "Lay on, Macduff, and damned be him that first cries ‘Hold, enough!’ " "Fallen into the sere, the yellow leaf." (Not, as usually quoted "the sere and yellow leaf.’’) "Golden, opinions from all sorts of people." These are just a few of the many familiar lines from "Macbeth" which have become part of our everyday speech.
